There is a law school scholarship for those that look hard enough. Many institutions of higher learning offer them not only to minority students, but to those that do not have the financial resources to pursue this challenging career.

If you have maintained a 3.7 grade point average as an undergraduate and desire a career in law, it is possible. There are many scholarships that do require a person to be of a particular race, but not all.

Yale School offers a number of different scholarships for those students that wish to be a part of their alumni. These include the general scholarship, Home Country / State Scholarship, Minority Scholarship, Prospective Applicant Scholarship, Special Scholarship, Summer Scholarship, and Scholarships for the Disabled Students. These types of scholarships are very common because the cost of a law degree is huge. A good number of these scholarships are funded by donations of previous recipients of them. It is a way of paying back those that have helped them and giving an opportunity to others.

If you are still stumped, then also include schools like Birmingham in England. They offer 2,500 pound scholarships for international students to attend their law school.

Since most law students are very intelligent, keep looking. There is a scholarship out there that can assist you with the enormous cost of obtaining a law degree. While you are at it, look into grants and fellowships from law offices. Many of the bigger ones sponsor bright students that are financially challenged.

The most important thing is not to give up when looking for a school scholarship. If you want it bad enough, you will find it.

I'm a fairly competitive guy so when one of my salespeople challenged me to literally match wits with him, I rose to the bait.

"What's your I.Q., Gary?"

"I dunno."

"No, really, what is it-Have you ever been tested?"

"In school I took some exams and they said I was a classic underachiever, so I suppose they wouldn't bother saying that to a dunce."

"You should have it tested."

"Why, Barry, do I need an I.Q. test, when my job as a manager is to deal with bozos like you?"

"I just joined Mensa," he went on, "You know, the genius society, and if your I.Q. is over 130, you can join, too! All you have to do is take an I.Q. test."

This was one of those weird conversations in which you don't want to go on with it, but at the same time, you can't stop.

"Barry, where would I get an I.Q. test?"

"Mensa will test you, or you could take one at the university. They'll accept that, too."

He was right. The Counseling Center at school administered all kinds of tests, so I could probably get tested for free. Plus, if I turned out to be a certified simpleton, no one would be the wiser, but me.

Sometime during the next week, I popped into the Center and asked for a test and they said I'd have to see a counselor, first. What a waste, I thought, but my quest was important enough to slay a dragon or two along the path.

A suitably somber, bespectacled psychologist asked me why I wanted to know my I.Q., and I told him about Barry, Mensa, and my long time personal curiosity.

At the end of our chat he decided NOT to give me what I asked for, but instead to give me a vocational guidance instrument that informed me I would be great at real estate sales and make a very disgruntled forester.

His reason for withholding the I.Q. test was this: What if I discovered I was a genius? What, then? Would I just hang around feeling superior while squandering my gifts?

And if I were a dim bulb, what would I do? Would I use this discovery as an excuse to feel inferior, and as a perfect justification not to try hard to achieve challenging goals?

Having bought into the logic of the counselor, I never bothered to take an I.Q. test.

Instead, I went on to earn five degrees, to teach on the regular faculty at three universities, to teach in continuing education at 40 more, and to write some best-selling books.

If my subconscious goal was to prove I was smart, perhaps it would have been more efficient to have found another place to have taken that test!
